I'll check on Peppermint. Meanwhile tomatoes Father Frost and Honey Bubbles are collected , the latter living up to its name !

Orange Bourgoin is producing beautifully as are Napa Giant, Sherill, Jazz, Orange Jazz, Pinky, Queen of Hearts and Vinson Watts thanks to Galina, Ruud and Vetivert. More photos to come.

Do comment if you've been growing some of the same varieties or on others.  We had so many contributions that I've had to leave some out this year but hope to catch up with the rest next season. What an amazing selection!

From juliev, I'm enjoying Marsha's Starfighter (which I haven't got a photo of yet) Indigo Fireball and Mlle Forriers (which I've misnamed on the photo!)

From Markfield Rover, I'm finding Goldiana is very productive and tasty. I'm also growing Peppermint which might not be the right colour. Is this how it was for you, MR?

I'm delighted with many of the considerable collection of tomatoes contributed to the seed circle for growing this season. I love taking photos of produce so thought I'd share a few of the varieties I'm enjoying so much.

Thank you,Garrett, for Sgt Pepper's, Malachite Box and Black & Brown Boar

Bean flowers wont set if its too dry. and 2026 bean season it has been very dry ! you could try a water spray  when the sun is off them.   

BER ..I have tried a few things research seems to suggest calcium deficiency at night , so I save egg shells during the winter, dry and crush them to powder, make a deep hole sprinkle liberally fill it back in a little and then plant the young toms, also if you can water the plants so they are moist during the night.
( also been away from A4A a bit )     

I always have blossom end rot on my first tomatoes - no doubt because I don't water them appropriately. Always very annoying, but the following ones are OK. It doesn't condemn the whole crop.

The only chilli I've grown with fruit quite that long and thin is Turkish Snake, originally contributed by Ruud to the seed circle in 2021. But that's by no means an identification.

Viola Cornetti, Gazzi Yellow Egg tomatoes and chilli (possibly a cayenne??)

Here is dalichos beans 2 survived plants. This is first year i could grow them this healthy 😂
